Recognition
Eric states that he has never sought to publicise the site, but favorable press notices and a BBC Radio interview appeared within two years of its foundation. By May 2000 Eric was receiving more than 100 requests and 1000 hits per day, and by December 2002 the site had been covered by "media in Germany, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic".
In 2003, the site was one of five nominated for a Webby Award in the humor category. In spite of being identified by the San Francisco Chronicle's Peter Hartlaub as "mong the best" that year (along with Whitehouse.org in the same category), it lost out to the webcomic Get Your War On.

Famous quotes containing the word recognition:
“By now, legions of tireless essayists and op-ed columnists have dressed feminists down for making such a fuss about entering the professions and earning equal pay that everyone’s attention has been distracted from the important contributions of mothers working at home. This judgment presumes, of course, that prior to the resurgence of feminism in the ‘70s, housewives and mothers enjoyed wide recognition and honor. This was not exactly the case.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. General recognition of this fact is shown in the proverbial phrase “It is the busiest man who has time to spare.””
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
“I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary maxim. “Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.””
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
